suRIEoTs FOR rHoUGHr.

Youth looks at the possible, age at the
probable.
Hope is the only good which is common
to all men,
Poverty wants some, luxury many, and
avarlce all things.
Success makes us soon forget the fight we
made to attain It,
It's easy finding reasons why other people
should be patient.
If you assume the garb of a fool; are you
very sure you have not natural right TO
it.
There is nothing more necessary than to
know how to bear the tedious moments of
life.
If you wish to be really happy, take a
good deal of outdoor exercise, and never
run in debt.
The waves of happiness, like those of
light, are colorless when unbroken.
Nature never sends great man into the
world without confiding the secret to an
other soul.
1t is one thing 10 have house to live in
and quite another thing to have home TO
live in.
The light of true friendship is like the
light of phosphorus-se plainest when all
around is dark.
Many persons entertain false views of
real life, who yet have the justest percep-
tions of human nature.
A writer who attempts to liye on the
manufacture of his imagination is continu-
ally coquetting with starvation.
Beware what you say of others, because
you only reveal yourself thereby. A man
doesn't think to look behind the door un-
less he has sometimes stood there himself.
He who betrays another's secret because
he has quarrelled with him, was never
worthy of the name of friend; breach of
kindness will not justify breach of trust.
Fear small temptations rather than great
ones. These come only every now and
then; those every day. Beware of being
witty at the expense of reverence; sarcas-
tic at the expense of charity; entertaining
at the expense of truth; coarse at expense
OF purity.
No wringing of hands and knocking the
breast, or wishing ones self unborn; all of
which are but the ceremonies of sorrow, the
pomp and ostentation of an effeminate
grief, which speak not so much the great
ness of the misery as the smalness of the
mind.
Money is "the best gift" which most
men earnestly court, but money is a curse
to its possessor unless he has learned how
to get it, how to keep it and how to use it.
Money is means to an end; only as il
passes current through the benevolence as
well as through the through the trades and
manufactures does It yield its true increase.

TOO GREAT A TEMPTATION.

Some years ago very fine echo was dis
covered on an Englishman's estate. He
was proud of it, of course, and excited con-
siderable envy by its exhibition. One OF his
neighbors, who owned an adjoining estate,
felt especially chagrined, but was greatly
the land in the hope of discovering one
somewhere. He declared himself success
full in finding the most wonderful echo ever
heard, and stood ready TO unfold his secret
for large sum of money. The nobleman
listened to the echo, and although there
was something peculiar about it, he paid
the money. An afternoon was set for his
friends to come and listen to this marvel
lous discovery.
'Hullop cried in stentorian tones the man
who had found the echo.
'Hullop came back Immediately from the
hillside yonder.
How are youP' yelled one of the com
pany, and the wonderful echo answered, in
a suspiciously different key
How are you?'
All went well until just before retiring
ane of the company, putting his hands to
his mouth, cried, in loud voice.
viii you have scma whiskeyP'
Such question would discover the char
acter of any reasonable echo. 1t was GER
tainly too much for the one which had
been discovered ON that estate. Judge of
the surprise of the party when the answer
came back
Thank you, sir; will, if you please
The poor fellow who had been stationed
at distance to supply the echo, simply
submitted to too great a temptation.

In his address before the, delegates of
the Knights of Labor assemblies at Min
neapolis, on Donday Mr.. Powderly, says:--
''Mon says the Knights can never attain
what is aimed at in their declaration of
principles. Then they go to church and
pray for better things than the Knights ever
dreamed of. Knighthood would not pave
the streets with gold. The men who pray
that this earth be made as the kingdom of
heaven would deny us place in legislative
halls. These places are not the kingdom of
heaven. The men who make these prayers
lie when they make them. They are hypo-
critics. The Knight of Labor respect the law
and they Intend TO take hand in making
the laws"

With their rosettes somber gray.

Woo the gallants to her side;

With the spinet's ripping tide.

Quit the attic and come down;
Leave the quaint old token up there
Meath the rafters grim and brown.

RISE IN AMsRlcAt REAL ESTATE.

Nearly all the Western papers are
printing articles, both editorial and
descriptive, concerning the "boom"
in real estate. The St. Louis Giobe
Democrh makes IL feature of
journalism, publishing in II single
number, FROM twenty-five different
points, kilograms and letters giving
account of sales of lots, new build
ings under construction, and the
rapid accumulation of wealth by
speculators-in real estate. The ex-
citement RACES in the small towns as
well as the large. Mount Carmel,
ILL.,, Chanute and Paola, Kan,
Bonneville and Clinton, Mo-, Las
Vegas, N. NJ, and multitude of
places that have been seldom heard
of hundred miles from their res
pective court houses, are booming in
grand chorus, while the uproar at
Little Rock, Ark, Wichita, Kan,
and Fort Worth, Tex, is really
deafening. The scenes in Change
Alley at the time of the South Sea
bubble, or in the Rue Quincampoix
when John Law was the virtual
sovereign of France, appear to be
distributed and re-enacted over a
space of about 1000 miles square
in the West and South. Take Little
Rock, for example. The Gazette of
that place publishes a daily article
on the BOOM" surmounted by
thirteen splendid head lines. With
out going into the body Of the article
it can be learned that prices are
firmer each day than they were the
day Before, that the number of re-
corded transfers was larger that day
than it had ever been before that
A. b. has soldto d. G. for 5000
dolls. what he had paid only $500
dolls. for few days ago, and that
the profit was made before any
papers had passed; that the city
|. authorities have made contract for
paving two miles of streets, and
that Jay Gould has sold the Pine
Bluff Railroad out of his left hand
pocket into his right-hand pocket,
and has in contemplation many
other trades Of great prospective
value to Little Rock. 1t will occur
to any man of mature years that he
has heard this tale before, and per-
haps more than once. The present
boom is really the first of any
magnitude that has affected real
estate over wide area since 1878.
There is nothing to be said Of it eX-
cept that some people will make
money out of it while the fever con-
tinues, and others will lose when the
reaction comes New York Ma
ton.

A SEA ADVENTURE.

The following account relating to
the British ship Dunnottar Castle,
wrecked on Ocean Island, is taken
from the Scotsman of May 7th:-
The barque Firth of Forth, Cap
tain Farquhar, from San Francisco
for Victoria Docks, London, with
cargo of grain and canned goods,
landed on Saturday two men, two
chronometers, and chart box from
the sailing ship Dunnottar Castle,
which was wrecked on sunken
reef in the Pacific in November last.
Soon after the Dunnottar Castle
struck, the first mate and seven
men took a boat and made for Homo
lulu, 1900 miles distant, with the
intention of obtaining means to re-
turn and take off the captain and
the remainder of the crew, who were
standing by the wreck. After an
adventurous voyage extending over
81 days, the party landed at Homo.
lulu where the mate chartered a
steamer and went back to the scene
of the wreck. On their arrival there
the shattered frame of the Dunnot-
tar Castle was found, but no trace
of her crew. Hoping that their
companions had been taken off
by passing vessel, the officer
ordered the steamer to proceed
to San Francisco where the MISS
ing men were found, having
been rescued and taken into that
port by an American ship. A young
Scotsman named Smiley, belonging
to the Firth Of Forth, was murdered
and thrown into the sea while the
vessel was loading in San Francisco.
AS the body was nearly stripped OF
its clothing, it is supposed that
robbery was the object of the crime.

The work of putting up lamps has been
begun by Dwyer Bros. and will be pushed to
be ready for the grand illumination on the
opening of the carnival. The committee.
Yesterday, on a suggestion Of members of
Ioboggan clubs, decided to increase the
prizes for the displays by the toboggan
clubs. as an incentive for the latter to de-
wise more elaborate and attractive floats.
The total purse will be 5000. to be divided
$500 TO the first, $50 to second. 500 to
third and $50 to fourth best display This.
it is thought by the carnival committee and
REPRESENTATIVES of the toboggan clubs would
be sufficient to arouse the clubs To the proper
degree of enthusiasm, and would give the
toboggan clubs an incentive commensurate
with their prominence in all carnival sports.
